However, this latest chap reckons he’s the toughest of all. The Chuck Norris of the tablet world, if you will. Meet the Getac Z710, baby.

Let’s get down to brass tacks. Getac Z710 specs include a 7in display (1024 x 600) with Gorilla Glass and Getac’s “sunlight readable” Quadraclear technology. Heck, you can even use the tablet with gloves on.

Slightly less common specs include a 360-degree barcode reader, with a scanning distance of up to 23cm.

The Getac Z710 is also the first rugged tablet to offer drop protection from a height of six feet, and will happily function at temperatures from -20 to 50°C. No specific mention of being waterproof, but one of the pics shows it taking a shower.

How much? Pocket-lint has been told the Getac Z710 will sell for £709.
